When drawing a selection, display a 3 thirds grid inside the rectangle.

Hello Again,

Note: all the wording and the basics of the feature is now more in line with the GIMP rectangular selection tool!

This adds another set of options to the selection sub-menu: selection guides!

When drawing a selection, display inside the rectangle, either:

  1. nothing/empty rectangle like before
  2. a crossed center lines selection
  3. a 3 thirds grid guides
  4. a 5 fifths grid guides

It also adds a small cross when dragging the selection over :)

This grid disappears when the selection is done and reappears when the selection is modified by the user.

Useful when making a big selection for cropping the image, either for centering purpose or for composition: The rule of thirds is one of the most useful composition techniques in photography.

Simple "Quality Of Life" improvement in a series of improvements I would like to do to the selection tool.

Cheers! Sébastien (SRombauts)

edit: sorry for the title, I tried some "auto create pull request", my bad ;)
